Re: Salary Cap Analysis
Matty's link demonstrates that we will not be the only team blowing the bridge if there is no CBA. (How could the awful Raiders be so far over?) I agree with Schneed that a CBA will be worked out although not necessarily by 3/3. Both sides have too much to lose to allow this thing to spiral away.
The interesting thing to watch is how much Snyder, Jones, Kraft et al have to give up on the revenue side before the other owners get serious with the CBA. The worst scenario for the Skins, IMHO, would be broad revenue sharing with a player's percentage at say 60% rather than 64%. If Snyder shares his coffee cake, he should insist on the 64% (or higher). Since the point of the revenue sharing is a level playing field, as much of that shared money should go to the players as possible. To me, it seems silly for clubs to demand more revenue when they are not spending the money they get now for players. From the looks of the list, several teams payroll is below the TV alottment alone.
